mr deputy speaker... news for drinkers. ave received numerous representations for my right honourable friend on one particular subject and in response, i will be freezing beer and cider duty for the next year. keeping the cost of beer down for patrons of the great british pub. and in response to the concerted lobby of my scottish drinkers, i will also freeze duty on spirits. so that we can all afford to raise one to ruth davidson on the arrival. and the chancellor concluded like this... mr deputy speaker, we have turned an important corner and now we must pull together to build the bright, prosperous future that is within britain's grasp if we choose to seize it. embracing change, not hiding from it, building on the inherent strength of the british economy and the indomitable spirit of the british people. mr deputy speaker, under this conservative government, austerity is coming to an end. but discipline will remain. we are at a turning point in our history and we must resolve to go forwards, not backwards and work together

mr deputy speaker, the reality is that whatever the chancellor claims today, austerity is not over. the chancellor also unveiled what he called a tax cut for 32 million people, with a rise in tax—free personal allowances from next april — a year earlier than promised. but with accusations from labour of half measures and quick fixes, we'll be looking in detail at what it all means for you. also on the programme tonight... united in grief — the family of the leicester city chairman pay their respects as players join the tributes following saturday's helicopter crash. wreckage is found off the indonesian coast but no survivors after a plane carrying 189 people crashes minutes after take off. and what now for lewis hamilton as he basks in his fifth formula 1 world title — securing his place among motor racing's greats? and coming up on bbc news... black armbands and a minute's silence at wembley tonight. tottenham and manchester city will remember those who died at leicester. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the chancellor has declared that austerity is coming to an end

mr deputy speaker, under this conservative government, austerity is coming to an end.will remain. we can cross to westminster and speak the conservative mp nicky morgan, who is the chair of the treasury select committe and a former treasury minister. good evening. good evening. let's pick up that last comment made by the chancellor that austerity is coming to an end but discipline remains. what is your understanding of that? exactly what he said, which is that there will be more spending and we had that 20 million thousand -- £20 and we had that 20 million thousand —— £20 million announced for the nhs and also for things like social care and also for things like social care and education, but i think it is fairto and education, but i think it is fair to say that with this chancellor we will see the full extent of that public spending until something called the spending review next year when the government sets out how much he department is going to have to spend over the next four 01’ to have to spend over the next four or five years, so to have to spend over the next

now, i'm afraid to say, mr deputy speaker, that makes me angry and very, very sad.e that has elapsed since this came to light, some, if not many of the individuals who are known to be terminally ill will have sadly died. and their loved ones will have lost a loved and treasured family member in the knowledge that they had to endure increased hardship due to wrongly withheld benefits. will the minister confirm this money will not come from existing budgets? and will she also make representations to the chancellor to make sure the extra spending does not now impact on additional spending urgently needed in other areas, like universal credit? very much thank the honourable lady for that question, and i very much want to confirm there is no impact on any of our existing benefits claimants at all. on behalf of the constituent who rang my office this morning concerned that if they received this end of payment, it may then get clawed back from other benefits, can the minister confirm this won't be the case? that's a really good question, and i can assure them that it won't

this, mr deputy speaker, is a broken promise budget. measures and quick fixes while austerity grinds on. and far from peoples hard work and sacrifice as having paid off, as the chancellor claims, this government has frittered it awaits in ideological tax cuts to the richest our society. there were goodies for northern ireland. remember the chancellor and prime minister depend on support from the unionist dup. the money for mental health provision, for our veterans, extra money for universal credit, those are very positive. all of the big decisions about how we pay for an improved public services and the so—called end of austerity has been put off until next year. he has not ended austerity, yet continued it and we have a situation where the universal credit cut there have are continuing to be passed onto people. this is a slow return to spending, not a splurge, a shift and not a sharp turn. a budget that promises an economy, a country, that will soon an economy, a country, that will soon feel different but cannot keep that promise on it

mr deputy speaker we're at a pivotal moment in our negotiations and the stakes could not be higher get it right and we will not only protect britain's jobs businesses and prosperity but we will also harvest a double deal diffident a boost from the end of uncertainty and a boost from releasing some of the fiscal headroom that i am holding in reserve at the moment we are confident that we will secure a deal which delivers that dividend. the message from him basically is that british voters can look forward to an increase in spending on public services only if teresa mayes government can get that elusive deal with brussels. well far from westminster the mood in northern ireland is not so upbeat our correspondent has visited the british province where the failure to reach a deal could mean a hard border between it and the republic and the consequences of that she reports could be much more serious than the amount of cash in people's pockets. on some days the memories come flooding back. memories of the ear and then as the troubles in belfast. often mccrory experience tara fest hand he was

because today, mr deputy speaker, i can report to the british people that their hard work is paying off is finally coming to an end. but there were strings attached and a message to mps, britain needed a brexit deal to guarantee its future. we are at a pivotal moment in our eu negotiations and the stakes could not be higher. get it right and we will not only protect britain's jobs, businesses and prosperity, but we will also harvest a double deal dividend. what was on offer today? we had heard about another £20 billion for the nhs in england, and he had a new announcement. today i can announce that the nhs ten year plan will include a new mental health crisis service with comprehensive mental health support available in every major a&e, children and young people's crisis teams in every part of the country, more mental—health ambulances, more safe havens in the community, and a 24—hour mental health crisis hotline. there was more, his mps are demanding it, more cash focused social care in england and another billion pounds for defence. and for schools struggling to pay the bills, there w
